“UNBOXING” is a visual metaphor for how consumer addiction has become a new norm passed from hand to hand like a product, a virus, a reflection of our times. The film explores compulsive shopping as a symptom of contemporary life, exposing a dependency that's often hard to recognize and perhaps even harder to break. Are we unboxing products or peeling back something deeper?
